I'm not trying to sound like a smart ass but rushing the passers-by isn't anything new.

The Saints going after a 3-4 pass rushing olb is kinda new.

Apologies. Misunderstood the situation. Apparently they switched him to strong side linebacker and had him drop into coverage more last year. Thought he played end before. 

I would assume they're going to have him play with his hand in the dirt. Not sure how that turns out.

But he'll play DE there like you suggested he would do for us in your artical, no?

Not sure. That has yet to be seen. Would not shock me to see a hybrid 3-4 at times with him now.

Unless they get the poor man's d. ware I think we will be fine.

Kruger is indeed the homeless, drug addicted, strung out, smoking salvia with a gas mask on, shooting heroin into his anus, miami face eating zombie,  sh*t his pants, dried piss cooked tighty whities, vinegar smelling ass, crack pipe heating, occasional couch surfing between shelter stays version of Von Miller.

But, yeah...  Nope.

Kruger is very different from Miller. Miller is one of the best if not the best speed edge rusher in the NFL. That's what our OL struggles with -  speed off the edge. Kruger, even though he's a 3-4 OLB, is very much a power player. He relies on power moves with the bull rush being his favorite where as Miller primarily utilizes techniques that emphasize his speed and quickness. He'll rip and dip to try to get around rather than through a blocker. Kruger is going to try to go through you because he doesn't have the speed to get around you. 

They've played the same position, but they go about it in very different ways.

Lol, in all seriousness though, Jeremy, I was hoping we would give him a look but I'm not worried at all about them.  Other guys they've had were a lot more intimidating - like Cameron Jordan, Junior Galette, etc.  Kruger had the measurables, but it's never added up to much in the league, outside of an amazing MNF performance years and years back.  He's not getting any younger either.  I really think Denver is a one of a kind defense that can't be played by anyone else.  It's the combination of two HOF pass rushers and DBs with back end ability to stay with their man in coverage.  I'm not scurred.

It's the kind of move a desperate team with a 37 year old QB makes.

Are you sure? He didn't do much last year, did he?

He's not a bad player though.
